That's a Wrap !

                     PACWEST Conference 2021
         “NAVIGATING GLOBAL CHALLENGES”
 
 
Thank you to all presenters, participants, sponsors, and the IBMP who made the Virtual PACWEST Conference a tremendous collaborative success.
 
The response to the call for presentations and engagement during the technical sessions was beyond our expectations.   The virtual roundtable meetings were also a great success, which illustrates the enduring need to connect and collaborate with our industry peers.
 
The much coveted H.R. MacMillan trophy for Best Mill Presentation will remain in her current home at Mercer Celgar.  Ralph Lunn’s “Fibre Species & Chip Screening  Effects on Yield & Kappa Update”  filled some important knowledge gaps that are vital in understanding the challenge of extracting the highest yield.  This is critical as fibre supplies become constrained in both quality and quantity.  The gauntlet has been thrown down to all mill personnel to challenge Ralph for possession of the coveted ‘Bird’ next year.
 
The other presentation award winners and the technical presentations are now available in this site, under the Presentations tab.
 
The need for innovation and rapid adoption of change are vital for the sustainability of our industry.  These last 16 months of pandemic response have taught us how resilient and capable of change our organizations and individuals can be and the PACWEST Conference will continue its 59  year history of  supporting innovation.

Thank you!
